註釋This reprint of the text by the distinguished genealogist Fox-Davies is the authoritative guide to what he calls the essential "shorthand of history." This fascinating book will delight all who are interested in the elaborate code which assigns distinguishing coats of arms & crests to individuals & to corporate bodies alike. The origins of Armory, Heralds & Officers of Arms, shields, heraldic beasts, mottoes, flags, marks of bastardy, badges, ecclesiastical heraldry & many other subjects are thoroughly covered in this comprehensive guide that has an appeal both to historians & to genealogists. Illustrated.
